Black Seeded Simpson is absolutely gorgeous: the Daily Telegraph has rated this as the best flavoured lettuce in the uk Don’t just take their word for it, or ours, try this for yourself. It can be sown at any time, withstanding heat and drought as well as snow and frost down to -5 and still maintains its flavour. Fabulous, what more can we say?
Price for 75 seeds
SOW: at any time, withstanding heat and drought as well as frost and snow down to -5 and still maintains its flavour. Sowing a little seed every 2-3 weeks will give you a succession of lettuces. They can be started in modules & transplanted or sown in situ.
GROW: late autumn to early spring transplants will like a little protection while they settle, cloches without ends are one option that works well. These can be removed once the lettuces are growing away.
EAT: fresh in salad or as a side to hot dishes such as pasta
